My more recent career is in the creative arts. I'm not too worried about AI replacing me, rather I am worried it will topple many of my clients who were foolish enough to think the technology is ready. A lot of innocent people will suffer when the markets take a hit.
We're also seeing an alarming increase in AI generated posters for cafes and restaurants, as if the key ingredient to standing out in a busy market is to ensure your signage looks the same as everyone elses!
I get emails every day from marketing people that are obviously written by an AI. It creates additional and unpaid work for me despite choosing to opt out of the bubble. But these marketing folks are literally spending money to damage their own brand and that of their clients. Some will be quicker to see the problem than others. Some will not recognise the problem even after the doors have shuttered.
I cannot predict the future of course, but I doubt any predictions of immense leisure time for all humans will become a reality. If AI really does work, then all the gains will go to those holding the wealth, not those holding the keyboard.
